“…Our findings also have important implications for the field of Black psychology. In particular, we suggest that within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and an intense period of social unrest at the national level (Hawkins, 2021), more attention is needed specifically on how public and private racial regard among Black caregivers have been impacted. For instance, the pandemic has continued to highlight health disparities driven by social inequities (Gray et al, 2020), which likely have negatively impacted racial regard among Black individuals.…”

The purpose of this study was to examine the associations between child health, parent racial regard, and parent physical health in 87 African American and Black parents/caregivers of children with and without asthma from a low-income, under-resourced urban area. Participants completed the Private and Public Regard subscales of the Multidimensional Inventory of Black Identity (MIBI) and 12-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12). Parents of children with asthma reported having poorer physical health, while those with higher public and private racial regard reported better physical health. The association between public regard and physical health was surpassed by an interaction of child asthma status and public regard: as public regard decreased, so did physical health, but only for parents raising a child with asthma. Findings suggest that the stresses associated with raising a child with chronic illness and perceiving lower public racial regard may together confer additional risk for poor physical health in African American and Black parents.

“…Seeing increased media coverage of police brutality can create a vicarious trauma that exists when Black Americans repeatedly witness the pain and suffering of people who look like them or remind them of their loved ones. Moreover, the Black community, including workplace employees, can be traumatized by viewing graphic images or videos of police brutality [ 33 , 34 ]. Furthermore, police brutality is a psychosocial stressor that can play a huge role in affecting Black mothers’ lives.…”

Black women faculty and administrators in the United States are tackling a force of socioeconomic and racial disparities, emotional tolls and invisible burdens within academia, political turmoil, social unrest, and public health crises. COVID-19 has added an additional layer related to work responsibilities, the overall well-being of Black women faculty and administrators and the diverse students they encounter, and management of work and home responsibilities. This paper discusses perspectives and evidence-based strategies regarding Black women faculty and administrators who navigate academia and teach during times of COVID-19 and social unrest. We also outline strategies for university leaders to mitigate cultural and racial gaps in the classroom or workplace and foster diversity and inclusion in academia.

“…Additionally, given the increased access to video streaming and social media, communities of color are constantly witnessing violence toward their community at the hands of authorities, government, and civilians. This is not meant to imply that this witnessing does not occur outside of social media, but rather that social media has increased access to the witnessing of these events (Bryant- Davis et al, 2017;Campbell & Valera, 2020;Hawkins, 2021;Staggers-Hakim, 2016). Although Criterion A descriptors do account for indirect exposure to details of a traumatic event in the course of professional work (APA, 2013), they do not account for the effects of indirect exposure to these events via media.…”

U.S. history is fraught with examples of systemic racism-at all ecological levels and within all geopolitical contexts. Whether scholars historically punctuate these phenomena through white racial framing begun in the 1600s or the Black civil rights movement of the 1960s, research across disciplines brings into focus a twenty-generation story of injustice. These phenomena present a paradoxical struggle within healthcare systems populated by professionals who have made a "conscious commitment to equity and helping those in need." However, both healthcare systems and embedded care providers operate in relation to organizational structures that frequently reify racist policies. As natural and professional agents of change, medical family therapists are especially positioned to examine how regulatory systems at every level influence institutional racism within the medical and mental health fields. In this manuscript we examine health system policies and practices using the lens of C.J. Peek's Four Worlds: Clinical, Operational, Financial, and Training. Examples of institutional racism are discussed and recommendations for approaches to change are provided.Keywords Healthcare • Institutional racism • Medical family therapy • Healthcare policy "...Marriage and family therapists are defined by an enduring dedication to professional and ethical excellence, as well as the commitment to service, advocacy, and public participation. The areas of service, advocacy, and public participation are recognized as responsibilities to the profession equal in importance to all other aspects…" (American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy [AAMFT], 2015).
